After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Mathematical constitutive models are crucially important for the real viscoelastic solid
materials in academic investigation and engineering application. The viscoelastic solid …

We present a new database called Gempa Nusantara, which is a collection of 7380
macroseismic observations for 1200 historical earthquakes in Indonesia between 1546 and …

Along a subduction zone, great megathrust earthquakes recur either after long seismic gaps
lasting several decades to centuries or over much shorter periods lasting hours to a few …

Seismic barriers are fault portions that promote earthquake rupture arrest and fault
segmentation. Despite their fundamental role in controlling the maximum magnitude of …

Over million years, convergence between the Nazca and South America tectonic plates
results in Andean orogeny. Over decades/centuries, it fuels the earthquake cycle of the …

Geologic reconstructions of the Main Himalayan Thrust in Nepal show a laterally extensive
midcrustal ramp, hypothesized to form the downdip boundary of interseismic locking. Using …

This paper reviews recent progress in tsunami geology and the history of coastal
uplift/subsidence along the Pacific coasts of Hokkaido and Tohoku, facing the Kuril and …

Over at least the past millennium, the Mentawai segment of the Sunda megathrust has failed
in sequences of closely timed events rather than in single end‐to‐end ruptures—each the …
